Matmi Welcomes Two Design Interns to Our Offices…Meet Izzy

Izzy is working with us as a design intern and is currently studying Computer and Video Games at Salford University . She is from Wigan and has grown up around Manchester.

How did you get into Design?

A culmination of enjoying it in school and encouragement from my uncle who works in packaging design at Equator.

What do you enjoy the most about design?

That everyone has good and bad days. Although the bad days are a mess it makes the good days even better. The fact that I can come to work or go to university and know I’ll have fun that day is really a selling point for the industry.

What has been your proudest moment so far?

I did some T shirt designs for a company that arranges running events and seeing everyone wearing them at the pub after the event was really humbling.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you want to take with you and why?

A tent

A ukalelee (Always wanted to learn()

A can-do attitude

Who would you most like to meet and why?

Tom Hanks, I love a person who can tell a good story and I think he’d have some amazing ones, plus I like that he has in the past helped small artists by sharing their work and meeting with them.

Tell us one unique/amusing fact about yourself.

I once broke two ribs by sneezing!

Any tips for budding designers?

To remember that they may have bad days but to stick with it and wait for a good one.

Anything else?

My life goals are to own a German Shepherd and build my own house. I’d also like to live abroad either Canada or Switzerland.
